I just wanted to thank you for creating the Logicly gate simulation. I am an IT teacher using it with my sixth grade students. It is an incredible resource.

I'd just like to thank you for making Logicly. I found it very useful when I was trying to design circuits for my engineering course at University.

NAND Gate

Truth table for a NAND gate
Input A	Input B	Output
false	false	true
false	true	true
true	false	true
true	true	false

A NAND gate (sometimes referred to by its extended name, Negated AND gate) is a digital logic gate with two or more inputs and one output with behavior that is the opposite of an AND gate. The output of a NAND gate is true when one or more, but not all, of its inputs are false. If all of a NAND gate's inputs are true, then the output of the NAND gate is false.

The truth table for a NAND gate with two inputs appears to the right.

Symbols

Each of the symbols below can be used to represent a NAND gate. There are multiple international stnandards defined, and one may preferred over the other in your region of the world.
